>>767833>America is really bad by these arbitrary standards that single out a specific inanimate object and defer to a country's completely irrelevant current socio-economic status-as if the country in question wasn't nearly a continent to itself with a population as racially and economically diverse to match. This is hilarious. Of course if you use disingenuous terms like "gun crime" and "gun deaths" (which includes people taking their own lives) a country that is inundated in guns will look bad by those standards. By using terms like "gun deaths" you've already attempted to shift the goal posts about as far as they can go by being a cherry picking retard and obfuscating the reality of violent crimes and suicides committed without guns.
The argument boils down to "guns are bad", but again, if the availability of guns was a catalyst in total violent crimes committed or even suicides the United States would be a smouldering crater due to the fact that there are more guns here in more hands than anywhere else in the world by a spectacular margin. With a murder rate nestled firmly in the middle of all nations and a suicide rate well below dozens of your precious "first world nations" you can consider yourself rebuked.
It's proven that America's problem with violent crime doesn't stem from the availability of guns, it's due to the proliferation of blacks and hispanics whom are both over-represented in this relative to their population size both in the U.S. and elsewhere.
